''Memoirs by Harry S. Truman'' signed. Two volume set covering Truman's presidency during WWII was published by Doubleday & Co., Garden City, NY: 1955. The first volume, ''Year of Decisions'', was published as part of a ''Special Kansas City edition limited to 20,615 copies'' and is signed upon its fly-leaf, ''Harry Truman'' in black ink. Accompanying second volume, ''Years of Trial and Hope'' is a first edition. Both volumes are bound in black cloth boards with blue and silver lettering; unclipped dustjackets included. Signed Kansas City edition volume has a small hole to the front free endpaper, abrasions to boards and fabric loss to corners. Very good overall. Its dustjacket shows toning and creasing as well as water damage to the backstrip, else very good. The second volume shows some foxing to the top edge and toning to endpapers, else near fine. Dustjacket shows toning, especially to the backstrip and surface loss along hinges. Very good.
